Here’s Some Video from the Fall Out Boy/Washington Square Park Fiasco

December 16, 2008

Just to prove I wasn’t lying, behold this raw, evocative footage of the FOB dudes leading a lovely a capella version of “Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy” at Washington Square Park Monday afternoon, right before they wussed out on their planned “secret” concert there for cop-related reasons. You’d think news of a trip to the pokey would make for splendid new-album promo, but evidently not. Anyway, this video I think nicely defines the Fall Out Boy dynamic: Pat does the yeoman’s work of actually performing, Pete looks pretty and aloof, the other two guys just stand there and look like roadies.
